Short profile

Intro
I support in sales management, KAM, business development, order management and customer service. I do apply my many years of experience in setting up and changing sales organizations, especially in international sales. Do using my expertise, companies benefit from substantial growth, a shorter development in internationalization as well as from tailor-made business models and KAM concepts for the realignment of sales. Operational, I take on negotiations, apply strategies + product positioning.
